The teenager who was shot by cops after he opened fire on a Far Rockaway crowd was hit with attempted murder charges Saturday, authorities said.

The 15-year-old, identified by sources as Rashid Zahid-Abeurra, allegedly sent bullets flying into a group of people after a fight at a house party spilled onto the street near the intersection of Redfern Avenue and Nameoke Avenue at about 11 p.m., cops said.

Two police officers who were already there trying to break up the crowd returned fire, striking Zahid-Abeurra several times, authorities said.

The teen’s Smith and Wesson handgun was recovered at the scene, police said.

Zahid-Abeurra was taken to Long Island Jewish Hospital in stable condition, where he was arrested on Saturday and charged with attempted murder, criminal possession of a weapon and criminal use of a firearm.

The police officers were not hurt.
